Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The V150ZA1P qualifies as a parametric equivalent to the V150ZC1P based on the following critical substitution criteria:

• Identical varistor voltage specification: 150 V typical with 135 V – 165 V tolerance band
• Matching surge current rating: 1.2 kA
• Equivalent energy absorption capacity: 8 J
• Identical maximum AC and DC voltage ratings: 95 V AC / 127 V DC
• Matching capacitance characteristic: 460 pF @ 1 MHz
• Identical operating temperature range: -55°C to 85°C
• Same mounting configuration: Through Hole
• Identical package form factor: Disc 7mm
• Single circuit configuration in both parts

Both parts are manufactured by Littelfuse Inc., maintain active product status, and comply with ROHS3 and REACH requirements. The substitution is based strictly on electrical performance parameters and mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the V150ZC1P and V150ZA1P are active production components from Littelfuse Inc. with identical electrical specifications and mechanical form factors. Selection between these parts may be based on inventory availability: the V150ZC1P has 758 units in stock, while the V150ZA1P has 2291 units available. Both parts maintain full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory compatibility in all applications. The series designation difference (ZC versus ZA) reflects internal Littelfuse manufacturing variants with no impact on functional performance or circuit compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can V150ZA1P replace V150ZC1P in existing designs? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical parameters including varistor voltage (150 V typical), surge current (1.2 kA), energy absorption (8 J), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C). The through-hole disc 7mm package is identical, enabling direct board-level substitution.

Q: What determines substitution eligibility for these varistors? A: Substitution is determined by matching varistor voltage specification, surge current rating, energy absorption capacity, maximum AC/DC voltage ratings, capacitance characteristics, operating temperature range, and identical mounting and package configurations. All these parameters are identical between V150ZC1P and V150ZA1P.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts? A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, with identical moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1 – Unlimited) and ECCN/HTSUS classifications.

Q: Does the series designation (ZC vs. ZA) affect performance? A: No. The series designation reflects internal manufacturing variants within Littelfuse's product line. Electrical performance and mechanical compatibility remain identical.

Q: What is the primary reason to consider substitution? A: Inventory availability and supply chain continuity. The V150ZA1P offers higher stock levels (2291 units) compared to the V150ZC1P (758 units), while maintaining complete functional equivalence.
